Gabriel told Evelyn, "I'm not sure about the specifics, but I heard there was an accidental fire. The entire King family, more than twenty people, died in the flames.""A fire? That doesn't sound like a coincidence," Evelyn said, her voice tinged with suspicion.Gabriel remained calm. "Bad deeds eventually catch up to you. The King family hurt a lot of people and committed countless crimes. This is just karma."Evelyn nodded, a sense of relief washing over her. With the King family gone, she no longer had to worry about their revenge."Alright, stop overthinking. Eat some soup first." Gabriel handed her a bowl of soup."Thank you." Evelyn, who was already starving, didn't hesitate. She picked up the bowl and happily began eating.The fragrant soup disappeared quickly. She found herself wanting more, practically scraping the bottom of the bowl."I'll get you another serving," Gabriel said, noticing her appetite. He brought back a second bowl of the

"The new company is doing well. We just opened, and with the Patel family's support, everything is running smoothly. But the Brown Group has hit some trouble over the past few days," Juliana said to her.Evelyn's expression shifted as she asked anxiously, "What kind of trouble?""We're facing cash flow issues. Several business partners haven't paid what they owe, which has left the company running at a deficit. Luckily, you still have 120 million dollars in reserve funds, which could help us weather this storm," Juliana explained, her tone serious."Reserve funds?" Evelyn's face darkened at the mention of it. "That money should be gone by now, shouldn't it?""Gone? What do you mean, Ms. Brown?" Juliana was taken aback."I trusted the wrong person. Griffin deceived me." Evelyn didn't hold back and briefly recounted what had happened.The next second, Juliana's tone turned furious. "He is such a scumbag! We trusted him so much, and he dared to scam us? We

As soon as the blow landed, Andrew's teeth flew out."Huh?" Everyone froze, stunned as they watched Andrew collapse to the ground.No one had expected Gabriel to be bold enough to slap Andrew in front of so many people.After all, Andrew was the manager of Calonia Bank's North Branch, wealthy, powerful, and well-connected. Offending someone like him was asking for trouble."How... How dare you hit me?" Andrew's face twisted in fury as he stared at the two teeth lying in his hand.Gabriel remained calm. "So what if I hit you? Should I have waited for a more convenient time?""Asshole! Do you even know who's backing me? It's the King family!" Andrew roared, pulling out his phone. "You've got a death wish!"As Andrew dialed for backup, Evelyn frowned slightly and made a call of her own.Within half an hour, Claire arrived at the scene with a group of people.Walking beside her was a handsome man in a tailored designer suit. His polished deme

Given Evelyn's status, Cedric might have been arrogant, but even he wouldn't dare lay a finger on her.Gabriel, on the other hand, was different. He had no status, no background. If he offended Cedric, he'd either end up dead or crippled."Leave? Where to?" Gabriel asked."Mr. King is here. Even if God himself showed up today, He couldn't save you. Just wait for your death!" Andrew let out a cold laugh before scurrying off to greet Cedric."Mr. King! You're finally here! Look at what they did to my face!" Andrew exclaimed.Cedric cast him a sideways glance. "What happened?""A woman came in to apply for a loan. I checked her credit. It was terrible. So I rejected her. But this shameless woman tried to seduce me and even conspired with some men to set me up. When I refused, they beat me up! They have no respect for the law or for you!" Andrew immediately twisted the story to suit himself.Cedric's expression turned hostile as he spoke arrogantly, "R

"Sure, I'm leaving right away!" Andrew nodded frantically and bolted in panic, not even daring to stop and pick up his fallen shoe.Cedric turned to Evelyn with an apologetic smile. "Ms. Brown, I sincerely apologize. It's my fault for not managing my employees properly. He offended you, and I promise I won't make the same mistake."Being a sharp individual, Cedric knew Gabriel always preferred to keep a low profile, so he tactfully refrained from exposing anything further.Evelyn responded with a faint smile. "Mr. King, your impartiality and sense of justice are truly admirable.""You're too kind, Ms. Brown. I was just doing what I should," Cedric replied nervously."Hmph! At least you know your place!" At that moment, Tyler spoke up, his expression cold. "If you had laid a finger on Evelyn today, I wouldn't have let you off."Cedric kept his apologetic smile in place. "I wouldn't dare. I'll never do something like that."Though Cedric had no idea

At Celestial Estates, around noon, Edward turned to Emily. "Emily, we had a bet before, and now three days have passed. I'm still safe and sound. Aren't you supposed to fulfill your promise?" He hesitated before finally bringing up the matter."Mr. Cole, there's no need to rush. Isn't there still half a day left?" Emily replied calmly.Edward took a sip of coffee and smiled. "Emily, you don't actually believe that little con artist, do you?"He found it somewhat amusing. "I've practiced martial arts for years. I know my body better than anyone. Look at me now—do I look sick?"Emily smiled slightly but insisted, "I don't know if you look sick, but I trust Gabriel's judgment.""Well, I have no idea what kind of spell that little con artist cast on you to make you trust him so much," Edward said, puzzled and somewhat displeased."Who knows? Maybe it's just fate," Emily thought of Gabriel and couldn't help curling her lips. "In any case, there's still
Chapter 57
Edward didn't expect that Gabriel was actually a martial arts expert. His bodyguards were no ordinary men, and being able to send someone flying with a single palm strike clearly demonstrated serious internal martial arts skills."Punk! You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Just as Edward was preparing to teach Gabriel a lesson himself, Emily's luxury car suddenly arrived."What's happening?" Emily walked in gracefully, her expression cool and aloof, carrying an invisible queen-like authority.Even without fully understanding the situation, she immediately stood beside Gabriel.Edward wore a malicious expression and preemptively complained, "Emily! This kid is incredibly arrogant. Not only did he refuse to treat me, but he even dared to attack my people. Tell me, how should we handle this?"Emily responded just as firmly, "Mr. Cole, if your people hadn't provoked him first, I believe Gabriel wouldn't have taken action. Your people getting

Gabriel didn't say anything but glanced at Emily instead.He didn't trust Edward. He suspected Edward would go back on his word if he recovered.Edward began pleading, "Emily, help me out. You know I've always been a man of my word, and I'll definitely follow through on what I promise!"Emily pretended to hesitate. "I know you of course, but just two medicinal herbs seem a bit insufficient.""What else do you need? I'll try to meet your demands!" Edward quickly realized what was happening.It was obvious they were trying to raise the price, but now, to save his life, he had no room to negotiate.Emily said with a half-smile, "Mr. Cole, I heard you have quite a few properties in Calonia, especially the Calonia Grand Hotel, which is quite excellent. How about giving it to Gabriel as a gift?""What?" Edward's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but exclaim.The Calonia Grand Hotel was his most profitable property at the moment, and it could easi

Claire pulled out a bank card. "That's right! If we're doing this, we'll go for the highest level!"Tyler watched from the side, not wanting to lose face.The server continued to smile. "Okay, the premium VIP requires an initial deposit of 5 million.""What? 5 million?" Both of them were stunned.Especially Claire, who had just extended her bank card, immediately pulled it back!Dominic looked shocked. "You're not joking, right? A premium VIP requires 5 million?"Claire felt embarrassed and angry, raising her voice. "Exactly! Are you trying to rob us?"Luckily, she pulled back quickly, or her card would have been maxed out, she thought.The server remained composed. "This is a rule set by our boss. If you find it expensive, you can choose the regular VIP."Claire tentatively asked, "How much does a regular VIP cost?"The server explained, "Just deposit 100 million, and you can become a regular VIP.""100 million? That's not chea

The manager let out a cold snort. "Don't even talk about being a Supreme VIP; not even God could do anything! He is the big boss of the Calonia Grand Eatery!"The entire scene fell silent."What? The big boss?" Everyone was stunned, unable to process what was happening."Are you joking? How could this guy possibly be the big boss?" Claire looked just as incredulous.The manager glared at Gabriel, a mix of anger and fear in his expression. "How is it impossible? You blind fool! I've never seen anyone so arrogant, trying to take over here!"Earlier in the private room, he had clearly seen that the former owner, Edward, had transferred the entire Calonia Grand Hotel to Gabriel, and they had signed an agreement.Dominic's face was full of shock. "No, impossible! This guy has nothing; where would he get the money to run a restaurant?"Gabriel spoke calmly. "Where I got my money is not your concern. You just need to know that this restaurant is now mine,
